Every year all members of the Party for Socialism and Liberation participate in a National Fund Drive. Like a union or many other types of working-class organizations, we know the only way to be politically independent of the capitalist class is to be financially independent from it. We appeal to our friends and supporters to contribute to this fund.
This past year you have received weekly emails from the PSL entitled, “From the Frontlines of the Struggle.” A collage of just a few of the issues covered in these weekly reports reflects how the PSL has immersed itself in so many struggles carried out by working class and oppressed people against the capitalist system. And as Pride month opens, we are reminded how urgent it is to stand up to the attacks of the right wing. Help us continue and expand this work

Missouri defends trans rights! Over 300 Missourians gathered at the capitol building in Jefferson City in April to protest the state’s vicious attack on trans people.

From the launch of national initiatives to putting organizers and speakers on the road, to supporting and coordinating local organizing, to producing PSL publications, and to deepening our international solidarity work — the National Fund Drive is essential. Through our members’ dedication of their time, finances, collective work, and sacrifice, the PSL has helped build and sustain movements against oppression and for liberation. We ask for your donation to give us the financial resources to continue to push the struggle forward.
